Micah 6:6-15
61With whatH4100 shall I comeH6923 toH6923 the LordH3068 And bowH3721 myself before the GodH430 on highH4791? Shall I comeH6923 toH6923 Him with 2burntH5930 offeringsH5930, With yearlingH8141 calvesH5695?7Does the LordH3068 takeH7521 pleasureH7521 in 3thousandsH505 of ramsH352, In tenH7233 thousandH7233 riversH5158 of 4oilH8081? Shall I giveH5414 Him my 5firstbornH1060 for my wrongdoingsH6588, The fruitH6529 of my bodyH990 for the sinH2403 of my soulH5315?8He has 6toldH5046 you, mortalH120 oneH120, whatH4100 is goodH2896; And 7whatH4100 does the LordH3068 requireH1875 of you But to 8doH6213 justiceH4941, to 9loveH157 10kindnessH2617, And to walkH1980 1112humblyH6800 with your GodH430?
9The voiceH6963 of the LordH3068 will callH7121 to the cityH5892-- And it is soundH8454 wisdomH8454 to fearH3372 Your nameH8034: “13HearH8085, you tribeH4294. WhoH4310 has designatedH3259 14its time?10Is there stillH5750 a personH376 in the wickedH7563 houseH1004, Along with treasuresH214 of 15wickednessH7562, And a 1617shortH7332 measureH374 that is cursedH2194?11Can I justifyH2135 dishonestH7562 18balancesH3976, And a bagH3599 of fraudulentH4820 weightsH68?12For the richH6223 peopleH6223 of 19the city are fullH4390 of 20violenceH2555, Her residentsH3427 speakH1696 21liesH8267, And their 22tongueH3956 is deceitfulH7423 in their mouthH6310.13So alsoH1571 I will makeH2470 you 23sickH2470, strikingH5221 you down, 24MakingH8074 you desolateH8074 becauseH5921 of your sinsH2403.14You will eatH398, but you will 25not beH7646 satisfiedH7646, And your filthH3445 will be in your midstH7130. You will try to removeH5472 valuables for safekeeping, But you will 26not saveH6403 it all, And whatH834 you do saveH6403 I will turnH5414 overH5414 to the swordH2719.15You will sowH2232 but you will 27not harvestH7114. You will treadH1869 the oliveH2132 press but will not anointH5480 yourself with oilH8081; And tread out sweetH8492 wineH8492, but you will 28not drinkH8354 any wineH3196.
